Is getting revenge wrong?
I bet that most would say yes... And in some cases I say yes. Doing wrong because you were done wrong, yea sure. It may make us feel better to let someone, or someones, know what something feels like - but does this end up really fixing anything at all?
My revenge has been to better myself.
I remember being a kid and being picked on, bullied, jumped, sexually assaulted, called a faggot, told that I would die of AIDS, being shunned, being humiliated so often that it became normal, talked down to... The list really goes on and on.
I allowed myself to to numb myself wit drugs and after a few years of rehab and jail I did a little bit of time.
When I was released I got a little job making like $6.00 an hour, or whatever minimum wage was, and I promised myself that I would make it.
10 years later I can really say that I am THE SHIT. I really have busted my ass.
Which brings me to the “revenge” I was talking about... Seeing the people that once treated me like I could never make it or like I wasn't good enough get to look at me and see that they were wrong.
I can say today that, even though life can still be tough and I still make some silly decisions, I love me. And that’s more than some of them can say.
